We've had a lovely weekend. Our good friends from Dunoon came to visit overnight. Last night we went out to the fabulous Pavilion Chinese Restaurant at Iveston near Consett - this restaurant is wonderful, service food everything spot on. Then this morning we took our friends to Beamish Open Air Museum. I love visiting this place. It is so inspirational letting you step back in time and seeing all those beautiful original homes, shops and buildings. I especially loved the really old locomotives - they really seemed to me to epitomise the steam punk style that I love so much.
